The Republican Witch Hunt

Yesterday, Fri. the 18th of Sept., the House of Representatives voted to defund Planned Parenthood.  Next it will go to the Senate.

I am shocked at how many people and Congresspeople believe the apparent evidence of the videotapes.  That material has been doctored by hate mongers who simply want control of women.  They have little or no concern for unborn babies.

Abortion -- or Not
8/12/2015

I find it truly painful that Congress has allowed its attention to be riveted on abortion issues.  I believe dragging that cat out of the cellar is just a way to get the public upset so we won’t notice that Congress is unable to take forward action on anything productive.

And to the far Right, I have to say:  It appears that you value an embryo way beyond any other human life.  If you insist on forcing women to have unwanted children, then you should be willing to feed and educate those little embryos.   Eventually the embryos grow into strong bodied young people, but you don’t mind sending them off to war.  Apparently, somehow as young people, they have less value than an embryo.  Laying the groundwork for another war is totally self-serving, to my way of thinking.  I just can’t wrap my mind around this fervor over embryos. 

We need to respect children and people, whatever their color or position in life.  Those who are already on the planet need to be cared for rather than blocking abortions.
